Chapter 23
Everyone looked up and saw that there was no Gong Qingyao in front of them. Everyone stood up and ran to the entrance of the cave. In the blink of an eye, Gong Qingyao already went down to the bottom of the mountain and ran towards the northeast of the village. Some people couldn't bear to watch this scene.
Wu Tiezhu didn't come back to his senses for a long time. What could he do?
Although Yu Chuxue hated Gong Qingyao, she never thought about Gong Qingyao's death, so she was also anxious.
Lu Yongyi said, "I'm going to find Qingyao."
You Xingyu grabbed Lu Yongyi, "Where are you going? I believe Qingyao will be able to save Goudan, so you don't need to make trouble and add to the burden."
Guo Yuankai also stopped Lu Yongyi. "I think Xingyu was right."
Lu Yongyi finally waited in place, looking at the northeast of the village with everyone.
You Xingyu suddenly said, "That's right! Call for help!"
Wu Tiezhu shook his head, "There is no signal." Otherwise, when the villagers were notified at the foot of the mountain, they would use the phone instead of knocking from door to door.
Wang Dashan said immediately, "How about I run to the top of the mountain to see if there is a signal?"
"Okay, pay attention to safety!" Wu Tiezhu said. There were more rocks as it went up the mountain, so the road was more slippery.
Wang Dashan nodded, picked up his phone and walked out of the cave.
Meanwhile, Gong Qingyao together with Qianqia and Xiaomi’s parents rushed to the northwest of the village. Goudan and his mother Cao Lan had already climbed the roof at this moment. In fact, when the water was rising, they were prepared to run to the mountain. But Goudan was trapped inside the house. It was too late when Cao Lan got Goudan out from the window. The water rose too fast, and it was even taller than Goudan in a blink of an eye.
In fact, at this time, Cao Lan was still able to run up the mountain alone, but Goudan couldn’t. So Cao Lan pushed Goudan to the roof, and then followed. The mother and son sat on the roof and prayed for the rain to stop soon.
Goudan looked at a figure not far away, "Mom, am I dazzled? I seem to see a fairy."
"Stupid son, there are no fairies in this world." Cao Lan said with a smile. She glanced at the water below, it was almost under the house’s eaves. It seemed that today, the two of them really couldn't survive.
Goudan stood up suddenly and pointed to the front, "Mom, look, it's really a fairy!"
Cao Lan looked, and in the dimness, she saw a white figure flew over.
Although Gong Qingyao only broke through the third level of Qi training and couldn’t fly yet, she could stay in the air for a few seconds with the help of a support. Therefore, Cao Lan and Goudan saw Gong Qingyao flying. The truth was that Gong Qingyao just hopped on the water like a dragonfly.
"Sister, it's you!" Goudan was very happy. After listening to Gong Qingyao's lecture on metaphysics this afternoon, he came back and specially explained it to Cao Lan.
Cao Lan knew that there was a metaphysical star who entered the village this time, but she didn't expect Gong Qingyao to be so young. "Why did you come here?" Cao Lan was a little worried.
Gong Qingyao nodded, coming from the mountain just now, she almost used most of her profound energy. At this moment, Gong Qingyao took a break and glanced around, "First think of a way to get out."
Cao Lan smiled bitterly, "There is no way, our house is on a low ground." If it was in the middle of the village, she might still have a chance to carry Goudan on her back. But it wouldn’t work in this low and concave land. Or else, why would she choose to sit still on the roof?
Gong Qingyao once again mobilized the profound energy in her body. She rushed to the bamboo forest not far away, took out the cold iron, and cut down some bamboos in one stroke.
Goudan jumped up immediately, clapping his hands and said, "Sister, you are so amazing."
Cao Lan was also stunned by this scene. She has been doing farm work since she was a child and naturally knows how difficult it was to chop a bamboo. To take one down, at least she needed to hit it several times, and to take down several bamboos like this, it would take at least half an hour without resting.
Gong Qingyao hugged the bamboo to the roof and handed it to Cao Lan, then she jumped into the water.
Cao Lan hugged the bamboo tightly.
"Mom, what do you think Fairy Sister is doing?" Goudan asked.
Cao Lan looked underwater and said, "She is here to save us." For some reason, with this little girl, Cao Lan felt that she and her son could be saved.
Gong Qingyao climbed up on the roof again. She brought some bed sheets.
Gong Qingyao tore the sheets into several pieces. "Are you making a bamboo raft?" Cao Lan immediately understood Gong Qingyao's meaning, "Yes."
The two took the bamboo. They were neatly tied, one person handled one side, and the bamboo raft was quickly finished. Cao Lan hugged Goudan on the bamboo raft, and then Gong Qingyao followed up. As soon as the three of them sat firmly, the roof was completely submerged.
"Where shall we go next?" Goudan asked.
Gong Qingyao specially left a piece of bamboo when tying the bamboo raft. She choped the bamboo in half, and then split it in half to get four paddles. Gong Qingyao handed one each to Goudan and Cao Lan, while she picked up two and said, "Paddle there."
The water grew quickly, and after a while, the tallest chimney of the house was also flooded.
The feeling of escaping death made Cao Lan’s heart palpitated.
During the paddling, Gong Qingyao asked, "Did the village have such heavy rain before?"
"No." Cao Lan replied affirmatively, "Someone once said that our place is a treasure of geomantic omen." So they lived here for several generations. Although they hadn't found any treasures, they also hadn’t encountered any disasters. .
Even if there was no such flood before, but the water flooded into the top of the house, it was almost impossible. Except for Xiaomi and her grandmother that has water disaster in her, Gong Qingyao felt that the flood was somewhat wrong.
The three of them rowed the bamboo raft to the west of the village, and then walked up the mountain. It was not until dawn when the rain stopped and the water gradually dropped.
After Wang Dashan climbed to the top of the mountain, he barely found a place with a signal, and when he managed to call the emergency service, "There is a flood in Hongyan Village, please come..." Before he finished saying the words to save people, he was disconnected.
Wang Dashan looked for several more places, but there was no signal anymore. The screen of his phone also went black because of the rain water soaking in, and Wang Dashan had no choice but to go back to the cave.
All the people in the cave stayed up all night. They looked at the northwest direction, but there was no one there, and the rescue team also did not appear.
Lu Yongyi looked outside, "It's dawn and the rain has stopped. I'll go down to look for Qingyao." He said, ignoring everyone's opposition and walked down the mountain.
The adults who stayed in the village also got up one after another, "Yes, the water has gone down, so we will also go out and look for her."
Wu Tiezhu said to Wang Dashan, "You stay here to take care of the children and elderly. I will go and take a look."
Wang Dashan nodded, "Okay. Don't worry."
When Lu Yongyi walked down the mountain, the sun had risen and the sky was completely bright. The water in the village had subsided halfway, and the roofs of many houses were now exposed. Under the guidance of Wang Dashan, the villagers in the cave also went down to the mountain. No one thought about the loss of their possession at this time, but was wholeheartedly looking for Gong Qingyao, Cao Lan and Goudan.
"Miss Qingyao!"
"Goudan!"
"Cao Lan!"
People shouted one after another, but there was no response.
After a round of searching, everyone returned to the cave again. Wu Tiezhu burst into tears, "We are sorry for Miss Qingyao."
Wang Dashan also cried.
Lu Yongyi now regretted why he didn't follow her last night. If so, Gong Qingyao might be fine.
Everyone stood in silence and didn't know what to do. Some people said, "Otherwise, we will erect a monument for Miss Qingyao."
"Why would you build a monument?" A cold voice came.
Everyone looked back and was overjoyed in an instant.
"It's Miss Qingyao!" Someone immediately shouted happily.
Everyone in the village went up to surround Gong Qingyao, "Great, you're all right."
"Wow, Sister, I'm so happy to see you."
"It's great that Miss Qingyao is all right."
Gong Qingyao had a cold temper and was surrounded by so many people. Even if she was a little uncomfortable, she still felt a little warmth somewhere in her heart. "Yeah."
Wu Tiezhu wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and looked towards Goudan and Cao Lan behind Gong Qingyao.
Cao Lan immediately talked about Gong Qingyao's rescue of them last night.
"That's it." Wu Tiezhu couldn't help but knelt down. "Miss Qingyao, you saved our village."
Wu Tiezhu knelt, and the other villagers also knelt down.
The cameramen found that there was a signal now and immediately started recording. As soon as Mao Liqiang woke up, he found that all the villagers in Hongyan Village were kneeling.
Mao Liqiang: ???
What's the situation? Mao Liqiang was a little confused. Was he still dreaming? Besides Mao Liqiang, the viewers who watched the live broadcast were also confused.
Gong Qingyao said, "Get up quickly."
When Yu Chuxue saw Gong Qingyao, she was relieved. But she turned around and saw the villagers respect Gong Qingyao so much, and her teeth started to itch again in an instant. What age was this? Didn't everyone say that a man had gold under his knee?
Zhong Xinyi also didn't expect Gong Qingyao to be alive, so she was a little shocked.
You Xingyu on the side walked up, "Great, you're okay."
"Yeah." Gong Qingyao nodded.
Yu Chuxue was slanderous in her heart, shouldn't Gong Qingyao say sorry for making everyone worry?
The viewers are really confused about the situation.
[???]
[No, I just fell asleep. May I ask, what happened here?]
[I am more concerned about the rain yesterday? I think it feels like the sun is about to come out.]
[No, no, no, look at the ground. The water is above their knees. It doesn't seem to be a simple rain.]
[It rained. You replay the live broadcast.]
[There was a video of the rain at Gong Qingyao’s window last night.]
[I don’t care if it rains anymore. Who can tell me what happened at the scene?]
At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared on the screen.
Last night, the staff on duty in the town received a call reporting flood in Hongyan Village and immediately called them back. But no matter how they contacted them, they were not in the service area. The staff called Wu Tiezhu again, but his phone was also not in the service area. The staff knew this matter was probably extraordinary, so they immediately called the town secretary He Xingyong to report.
When He Xingyong heard this, he immediately asked people close to him to check the authenticity of the matter. As a result, someone soon reported that the rain in Hongyan Village was indeed heavy, but there was no rescue team in town. He Xingyong immediately called the provincial office to ask for help. He then summoned his people in town to rush towards Hongyan Village.
The staff of P Province reported this to the top immediately, and the Meteorological Bureau confirmed that there was indeed a heavy rain in Hongyan Village.
There were 2,000 people in Hongyan Village. Xue Chengping, the secretary of the Provincial Committee, did not dare to think about what would happen if a flood really happened, so he immediately decided to arrange for a rescue team to go to Hongyan Village.
"Secretary, even if we drive there, it will take more than half a day at the fastest."
Xue Chengping was very anxious, "Then use a helicopter!"
"Okay!"
The rescue team was quickly formed, and Xue Chengping joined them in the helicopter. They hurried to Hongyan Village together.
Due to the heavy rain, the helicopter could not fly into Hongyan Village at all. In the end, it had to stop on a flat ground one kilometer away from Hongyan Village. Everyone walked into the village, and they saw the villagers surrounding a girl.
Xue Chengping was a little unclear about the situation. Those who followed Secretary Xue saw that Secretary Xue had not moved, so they did not move either.
After that, He Xingyong also rushed over with the people from town. He Xingyong walked to the village entrance and saw Xue Chengping there. He was a little surprised at the moment. He didn't expect Xue Chengping to come here in person. "Hello, Secretary Xue."
Wu Tiezhu heard the voice. He looked back, it turned out that He Xingyong was here. He hurried over to say hello, "Hello Secretary He."
He Xingyong hurriedly introduced, "Secretary Xue, this is Wu Tiezhu, the secretary of Hongyan Village."
Wu Tiezhu heard He Xingyong call the other party Secretary Xue, and immediately guessed who he was, "Hello, Secretary Xue."
Secretary Xue looked at the chaos in the village. The village was obviously hit by heavy rain, but it could not be said that it was flooded.
Wu Tiezhu saw Secretary Xue’s doubts and quickly explained, "The water started to disappear at dawn, and we didn’t expect the water to recede so quickly."
"How big the water was yesterday for you to call it flood?" He Xingyong asked. Even the Secretary of City T was alarmed. As a result, this...
"The water has overflowed all the roofs." Wu Tiezhu said.
Xue Chengping and his group looked around. It didn’t look anywhere like water flowing over the roof. It was more appropriate to say that the water was probably one meter high.
Wang Dashan came out and said, "Really, this water rises quickly and disappears quickly. If you don't believe me, look at your pants."
He Xingyong discovered that when he came earlier, the water was above his knees. During this time he was speaking, two centimeters had been dropped. This wet watermark in his pants could explain everything.
"And there are watermarks on our house." A villager said.
Everyone looked around, was it? It seemed that it was really flooded.
"Are there casualties?" Xue Chengping asked. Since the flood could recede by itself, it was a good thing.
"No." Wu Tiezhu was very happy when he said this.
"No?" Xue Chengping was a little surprised, but he was still happy. After all, this was a good thing.
Xue Chengping felt that he had come, so he should do something. He first arranged for the province to send some materials to Hongyan Village. After all, the houses in the village were flooded, and many things were soaked overnight, which couldn’t be used anymore. After arranging these, Xue Chengping also ordered another staff, "Go and investigate, why did the water in Hongyan Village rise so fast yesterday?"
"Okay." The staff immediately left.
Wu Tiezhu looked at Gong Qingyao, and Gong Qingyao said, "Everyone, let's go."
Wu Tiezhu nodded immediately, "Everyone can go. Go back and clean up." The villagers went back to clean up their house when they heard this.
Wu Tiezhu was staying to accompany He Xingyong and Xue Chengping. "Why don't we go to the village committee first?"
Xue Chengping agreed, and soon there were only the six guests including Gong Qingyao and the cameramen left on the scene.
After Mao Liqiang heard about the flood in Hongyan Village, he rushed to the village and saw that only the guests and his crews were left on the ground. After a flood, Hongyan Village still had a lot of things to do. Seeing this, Mao Liqiang said to the camera, "Dear viewers, Hongyan Village was suddenly hit by heavy rain yesterday, and there are still many things to do in the village. So our live broadcast will be stopped over here." After speaking, all the cameramen turned off the live broadcast.
After the live broadcast was turned off, Mao Liqiang looked at You Xingyu and the others, "The bus is waiting outside. Let's go out first. When the tickets are available, we will arrange for you to go back. If you need anything just talk to the crew."
"We won't continue this live broadcast?" You Xingyu asked.
"Yes, stop filming and wait for the next live broadcast." Mao Liqiang felt that he probably needed to worship God. He directed this live broadcast, first he met human traffickers. Now there were no human traffickers, but he suffered flood.
After Gong Qingyao went out with everyone, she took her suitcase from the bus and said that she still had something to do, so she would not go back to the capital with them.
Ai Xiaoyun asked, "Do you want me to stay with you?"
"No." Gong Qingyao said.
When Lu Yongyi heard Gong Qingyao staying, he quickly said, "Then I will stay too."
Yu Chuxue ridiculed her heart. When did Gong Qingyao become sweet and virtuous? This recording was stopped but she was still struggling to stay and didn’t want to go.
Mao Liqiang left with most of the people.
Lu Yongyi carried his backpack and looked at Gong Qingyao, "Are you staying here to help the villagers clean up?"
Gong Qingyao shook her head, jumped up, and then she was gone.
Lu Yongyi: ... wait, wait.
The viewers who watched the live broadcast also exploded.
The live broadcast was interrupted before, but everything from dawn when the signal was available to the present was still filmed. The viewers probably guessed what happened last night according to what the villagers and the officials said. At this time, the topic of Weibo was also brushed up.
The first topic was #Water disaster in Hongyan Village#.
Everyone discussed that there was a heavy rain in Hongyan Village yesterday, and the video sent by the cameraman Gong Qingyao has been edited separately and put on the Internet.
[The rain is a bit heavy, but it shouldn't result to a flood. It's a bit exaggerated.]
[But the secretary of the provincial party committee of province P was there, so it shouldn't be fake.]
[Can this even be considered a flood? It was more like a puddle okay?]
...
Gong Qingyao’s cameraman sat in the car and happily swiped Weibo.
He scanned these comments and immediately post the video he recorded in the cave yesterday. There was no signal last night, so it was saved and not put live online.
Before seeing these comments, he didn't plan to post this video. But now Gong Qingyao's cameraman just wanted to explain that the flood was really serious. Before it was sent out, he hadn't thought about what kind of big waves this video would cause on the Internet.
The second topic on Weibo that was frequently visited was #Gong Qingyao predicted the rain#.
[Do you remember when Gong Qingyao said during the live broadcast yesterday that it would rain?]
[Remember, Yu Chuxue didn't believe it and asked around several times.]
[I also checked the weather forecast, and it showed no rain. I don’t know it will really rain at night.]
[So, even if the moon is round and big, it might still rain, right?]
...
The third topic was #Xiaomi water disaster#.
[At that time, after Gong Qingyao finished talking about metaphysics, do you still remember that she said Xiaomi will have water disaster?]
[Remember, but not personal water disaster. This is disaster for the entire Hongyan village.]
[I remember, I didn't expect this to be true.]
[Suddenly I feel that Gong Qingyao really seems to be a master?]
[I just want to say, whether it is a coincidence or not, this production team is very powerful, and Gong Qingyao's master character setting is really successful.]
...
In the village committee office, Xue Chengping hadn’t said many words when a staff member came to report, saying that the video of the flood disaster in Hongyan Village yesterday had been revealed, and he showed the video to Xue Chengping.
Seeing the amount of water, Xue Chengping handed the phone to Wu Tiezhu, "Is this true?"
Wu Tiezhu glanced at it, "It's true, there was more water than this last night."
Xue Chengping didn't expect the flood to be more serious than he thought, and immediately said, "Let our public relation department come forward and report on related matters immediately."
"Okay," the staff replied.
Before the staff went out, Xue Chengping added, "In addition, increase the material assistance to Hongyan Village also."
"Okay."
Wu Tiezhu got up immediately, "Thank you, Secretary Xue."
Xue Chengping waved his hand and got up to call the leaders at the national level to report. The national level learned that the disaster did not cause any casualties, but that there was a lot of damage to property, so they immediately allocated a sum of money.
Xue Chengping was very happy.
After a while, P Province official account issued a related report.
[Safe P Province: On the evening of September 3, an extremely heavy rain broke out in Hongyan Village located in our province, causing a huge flood. The provincial party committee secretary Xue Chengping immediately led the T City rescue team and rushed to the scene to assist the villagers. As of now, there have been no casualties, and we are counting the total property damage.]
After Gong Qingyao and Lu Yongyi finished speaking, she climbed directly to the top of the mountain.
There was a river in the village that flowed down from the mountain. Gong Qingyao walked to the top of the mountain. It was visible to the naked eye that the river became wider due to rain last night, but it has also subsided. Gong Qingyao walked pass the river to the forest before Gong Qingyao suddenly stopped.
Lu Qianqian floated beside her asked, "Is there a problem here?"
Gong Qingyao nodded. She couldn't see what the problem was, but she just felt a bit weird here.
Lu Qianqian floated around and came back, "I cannot find anything strange here. This area has been flooded last night, if someone comes, they will definitely leave footprints. You see, although your steps are light, there are still prints left, but there is nothing in this area."
Gong Qingyao stayed for a long time without discovering the cause of the problem, so she stood up and said, "Let’s go."
Without finding the reason, Gong Qingyao felt a little depressed. Lu Qianqian on the side changed the subject, "What do you plan to do next?"
"Cultivate." Gong Qingyao wanted to stay in the cave for a few days, and then return to the Capital, "Make money."
"Hey, master, you actually said you want to make money?" To Lu Qianqian, Gong Qingyao's temperament was non-materialistic, so it was really strange to hear the word ‘make money’ from her mouth.
"I am human too." Gong Qingyao said.
Lu Qianqian: ...
It made sense, and there was no way to refute it for a while.
After Gong Qingyao was reborn, there were two things in her mind, one was to carry forward metaphysics, and the other was to win the movie queen title as requested by the original owner. Coming to Hongyan Village this time, after seeing the hardship of the villagers and the fact that Xiaomi ate corn paste but think of it as the world’s delicacy, Gong Qingyao has a third idea. She wanted to build this place and developed it, but she was short on funds.
After Lu Qianqian finished being shocked, she reacted again and said, "Is it because of Hongyan Village?" Since Gong Qingyao came here, she was different. The biggest difference was that she talked a lot, other than that, Lu Qianqian seemed to find Gong Qingyao warmed up a little bit.
"Yeah." Gong Qingyao said.
"Then I think you can set a charity fund. After the construction of Hongyan Village in the future, you can use that to fund places similar to Hongyan Village." Lu Qianqian said.
"Fund?" Gong Qingyao asked. Charity she understood, what was a fund?
Lu Qianqian explained, "It is an organization established in the name of an individual. The money in this fund can be used for charity, but the fund established in the name of an individual has no right to let others donate money."
"This is good." It didn't matter whether someone else donated money or not. Gong Qingyao could deposit all the money she earned from metaphysics into this account.
Lu Qianqian said, "You can find a few big business people and tell their fortune. The money they give must be high, so that there will be income source for the fund."
This was a good idea. Gong Qingyao nodded and decided to wait for her 4th Qi training break through before returning to the Capital.
Gong Qingyao went down the mountain and found that Lu Yongyi was still there.
Lu Yongyi saw Gong Qingyao and walked over happily, "You are back, are you going to help the villagers?"
"No." Gong Qingyao said. The villagers took out the wet things from their houses to dry them. As for material and budget, the province's relief has come. As far as the current situation was concerned, she had nothing to help.
Lu Yongyi was shocked. This was completely different from what he thought. He thought Gong Qingyao stayed here to help the villagers.
Gong Qingyao nodded to Lu Yongyi, turned and left, she then found a cave and began to practice peacefully. When Lu Yongyi reacted, there was already no one in front of him.
The cave that Gong Qingyao looked for this time was different from the one she lived in during the live broadcast. This cave was higher on the mountain. It was not as big as the previous cave, but it was very quiet. The main reason was that there were some small fruit trees outside, so if she was hungry she could pick fruit to satisfy her hunger. Gong Qingyao set up a simple formation outside, and then recruited Lu Qianqian to start practicing.
Five days later...
Gong Qingyao opened her eyes. In the past few days, she has hardly rested. Fortunately, she has gained a lot now. There was a lot of spiritual energy here, and there was also a lot of energy in the rocks. Plus the thousand-year cold iron also helped, so within five days she broke through the fourth level of Qi training. Yes, she could finally fly with Qi.
Gong Qingyao got up, and Lu Qianqian on the side felt that the ‘fairy’ smell on Gong Qingyao seemed to be a little bit stronger.
"I thought about it!" Lu Qianqian said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Aren't these caves very good?" Lu Qianqian said, "In the future, you can develop this place, and then provide people with cultivation. Isn't recuperation tour popular nowadays? You can do this."
This cave, if added with a few formations, even ordinary people would feel energetic after staying for one night.
"That is a good idea." Although Gong Qingyao had great attainments in metaphysics, she had never been in need of money in the past, so she never thought about how to make money.
Lu Qianqian was very excited, "You can start with the rich. They value their bodies very much. If they come, we should not be afraid of promoting the place."
It seemed that the matter of making money was now set, Gong Qing Yao got up and walked down the mountain, passing by Xiaomi's house.
Xiaomi was reading under a tree outside the house. She was very happy to see Gong Qingyao. She didn't expect Gong Qingyao to be still in the village. "Sister, you are still in the village."
Gong Qingyao walked to Xiaomi's side and squatted down and said. "Well, but I'll leave right away."
"So fast." Xiaomi pouted, "I still want to play with sister."
Gong Qingyao rubbed Xiaomi's head, "I'll be back again."
"Really? "Xiaomi said.
"Yeah." Gong Qingyao drew two talisman for Xiaomi, "Keep these on your body."
"Okay Sister." Xiaomi picked up one of the square talisman and put it in the pocket of her jacket, then lifted the other one. "I will definitely keep it on me. Can I give this one to my grandma?"
"Sure." Gong Qingyao said.
Grandma Qian heard Xiaomi’s voice and walked out the door. The two were about to send Gong Qingyao until the entrance of the village but Gong Qingyao refused, "No need to send me, go back and learn."
Xiaomi nodded and picked up the book in her hand. "Sister, don’t worry, I will definitely learn metaphysics."In the past few days, Xiaomi begged her grandma to buy metaphysics book for herself. It happened that there were more people in town recently, so Grandma Qian went to find someone to help buy the book. After buying the book, Xiaomi couldn't put it down, she brought it everywhere, and took it out when she was free, although she still didn't recognize many words in the book."
Gong Qingyao waved her hand and turned to leave. When she arrived to the village entrance, she met Lu Yongyi. Gong Qingyao was a little surprised. "You also didn't leave?"
Lu Yongyi was also stunned when he saw Gong Qingyao. He didn't expect to see her after a few days. Gong Qingyao's cold temperament seemed to be stronger. In the past few days, Lu Yongyi didn’t know where Gong Qingyao had gone, so he worked for a few days in the village.
Seeing Gong Qingyao carrying a suitcase, Lu Yongyi asked, "Are you going to leave?"
"Yeah."
"Wait for me." Lu Yongyi immediately ran back to the villager's house, packed his luggage, and walked to Gong Qingyao, "Let's go back together."
There was only one bus to the town every day in the village. But the two people didn’t know the bus schedule so it had already left. The two decided to walk to town.
Lu Yongyi said, "I’ll help you with your luggage."
Gong Qingyao refused, "No, you just have to keep up."
"Okay." Lu Yongyi thought Gong Qingyao was being polite, he asked again, "Do you have plan in the Capital?"
Once she was back in the Capital Gong Qingyao wanted to start making money, but Gong Qingyao didn't say this.
Lu Yongyi thought Gong Qingyao wanted to make a movie, so he said, "If you have time, you can go to the film and television city." After all, Gong Qingyao was so beautiful, maybe she would be fancied by a director for a supporting role in a certain drama.
Although Gong Qingyao had an agent, Lu Yongyi could also see the agent main focus was around Yu Chuxue, although, even in this situation, Gong Qingyao was still slightly better than him. Lu Yongyi also had an agent, but his agent was handling dozens of artists, and would definitely not run for an artist like him who was not well-known. Even this reality show was thrown at him only after others rejected it.
Soon, Lu Yongyi realized that he had been too enthusiastic, so he closed his mouth and followed Gong Qingyao. He also suddenly understood what Gong Qingyao meant to keep up. It seemed that Gong Qingyao was walking, but Lu Yongyi had to trot to keep up.
An hour later, Lu Yongyi's forehead had already begun to sweat, Gong Qingyao glanced back and slowed down. If she used Qi to fly she would be in town already.
Lu Yongyi was very ashamed when he discovered that Gong Qingyao was deliberately slowing down. He decided to increase his exercise after returning to the Capital!
It was late in the afternoon when they arrived in town. Lu Yongyi took out his mobile phone and turned on the navigation system. "There is a hotel in front. I think the review is pretty good. It's better to rest there at night and take the plane back to the Capital via T City tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Gong Qingyao thought to herself that the transportation to Hongyan Village was not convenient. If she wanted to develop caves for people to take care of their bodies, the first thing to improve was the transportation. Otherwise, people came to take care of their body, but before they even reached the destination, they would be tired and half dead.
The two took a rest, and Lu Yongyi came over and knocked on Gong Qingyao's door, "Qingyao, do you want to go out to eat? There is a local specialty restaurant around here. I checked the word-of-mouth so it should be not bad."
Lu Qianqian said from the side. "Master, let me tell you, I think this person has an impure mind."
Gong Qingyao opened the door and glanced at Lu Yongyi, then shook her head, watching Lu Yongyi's face, his eyes were dark and clear, it showed he was a pure-hearted person. There was no crooked mind.
Seeing Gong Qingyao shook her head, Lu Yongyi asked, "You don’t want to eat local specialties? Then we can find something else." He took out his mobile phone and prepared to search other restaurants.
"Let's go." Gong Qingyao said.
Lu Qianqian floated behind her, "Hey, wait for me."
Lu Yongyi followed the navigation on his mobile phone and walked to the restaurant. He asked the service staff in the store to help recommend the local specialties.
During the waiting time, Lu Yongyi said, "In the past few days, many reporters went to Hongyan Village to interview. Secretary Wu and the villagers have been complimenting you, saying that thanks to your help, there were no casualties in the village."
When the villagers praised Gong Qingyao, Lu Yongyi wanted to laugh. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was true. "There is also a Goudan family. They repeatedly said that you are their benefactor."
Gong Qingyao nodded slightly, indicating that she was listening.
Lu Yongyi found that Gong Qingyao didn't seem to be interested in this, so he changed the topic, "There have been several hot searches about you on Weibo these days, have you read it?"
Gong Qingyao shook her head, but then took out her phone. It was not because she wanted to read it, but Lu Qianqian kept saying, "Master, master, master, let me take a look at Weibo~~"
After searching for her name, Gong Qingyao immediately found a few topics by default, such as, #Gong Qingyao Master of Metaphysics#, #Gong Qingyao forecasted the flood#, and #Hongyan Village residents thank Gong Qingyao#.
However, these topics did not stay on the hot search for long. Although some people's attention was not low, it was obvious that they were deliberately withdrawn from the hot search. Lu Qianqian on the side said, "It's not surprising that the hot searches are withdrawn. The government does not allow citizens to engage in feudal superstitions."
Lu Qianqian continued, "I know you are not feudal superstitions. To tell the truth, before I became one, I didn't even believe in ghost my entire life."
The main reason was that there were too many scammers now, which lead people to distrust metaphysics, and even talked about metaphysics as magic tricks and lies. At this moment, Gong Qingyao discovered for the first time that entering the entertainment industry had such usefulness. After she became famous, she could tell everyone that metaphysics was not a lie, it was also a science.
In addition to these topics, one topic was still on the list, but not in the top ten, #Gong Qingyao lost fans#.
Gong Qingyao clicked in and took a look. Because of Gong Qingyao's performance in the live broadcast, many people became fans and then left and then became fans again. Some people did this repeatedly and finally caused dissatisfaction for Gong Qingyao diehard fans.
Someone said, [#Gong Qingyao lost fans#, people who come and leave multiple times, do you think Qingyao cares about you?]
[If you really like Qingyao, how could it be possible for you to go back and forth?]
There was a battle inside the fans, and Lu Qianqian said from the side, "This is not good."
Gong Qingyao was still scrolling down, and she saw a Weibo with the name [Gong Qingyao Fans.]
"It must be your support group," Lu Qianqian said from the side, "This is good, so that fans can gather together."
Gong Qingyao withdrew from this topic and continued to scroll down on the topic about herself.
She found a topic called #Gong Qingyao’s smile#. There was also a lot of interest in this topic because everyone felt that Gong Qingyao was smiling for the first time on the show. It looked good, so the video was cut and made into dynamic emoticons and posted on Weibo. Fans reposted them one after another.
If there were fans there would be anti fans, Weibo produced both, there were also a lot of anti fans comments.
[Every day you Yaoyao here and there, you look at your feed, what a rotten life.]
[Since the master character was set now, there will be no turning back.]
[Yes, your Yaoyao only pretending to be a master, what do you say about her extravagant life on Weibo?]
[That is, the master character was a setting, she should have to deleted the previous photos.]
[This is obviously a scammer.]
...
Lu Qianqian said to the side, "Yes, Master, why didn't you delete the previous photos?"
The meal was served, Gong Qingyao put down her phone. Lu Yongyi had prepared a lot of topics, but when he saw that Gong Qingyao was eating quietly, he swallowed what he prepared and sat quietly to eat.
After eating, Gong Qingyao was about to pay the bill, but Lu Yongyi hurriedly said, "You pay for the room, so I should pay for this meal."
Gong Qingyao took back her card. After paying the bill, Lu Yongyi suggested, "Should we go around the town?"
"No." Gong Qingyao wanted to go back. She hadn't taken a bath in these few days of practice, and she had long been very uncomfortable.

Chapter 23
Everyone looked up and saw that there was no Gong Qingyao in front of them. Everyone stood up and ran to the entrance of the cave. In the blink of an eye, Gong Qingyao already went down to the bottom of the mountain and ran towards the northeast of the village. Some people couldn't bear to watch this scene.
Wu Tiezhu didn't come back to his senses for a long time. What could he do?
Although Yu Chuxue hated Gong Qingyao, she never thought about Gong Qingyao's death, so she was also anxious.
Lu Yongyi said, "I'm going to find Qingyao."
You Xingyu grabbed Lu Yongyi, "Where are you going? I believe Qingyao will be able to save Goudan, so you don't need to make trouble and add to the burden."
Guo Yuankai also stopped Lu Yongyi. "I think Xingyu was right."
Lu Yongyi finally waited in place, looking at the northeast of the village with everyone.
You Xingyu suddenly said, "That's right! Call for help!"
Wu Tiezhu shook his head, "There is no signal." Otherwise, when the villagers were notified at the foot of the mountain, they would use the phone instead of knocking from door to door.
Wang Dashan said immediately, "How about I run to the top of the mountain to see if there is a signal?"
"Okay, pay attention to safety!" Wu Tiezhu said. There were more rocks as it went up the mountain, so the road was more slippery.
Wang Dashan nodded, picked up his phone and walked out of the cave.
Meanwhile, Gong Qingyao together with Qianqia and Xiaomi’s parents rushed to the northwest of the village. Goudan and his mother Cao Lan had already climbed the roof at this moment. In fact, when the water was rising, they were prepared to run to the mountain. But Goudan was trapped inside the house. It was too late when Cao Lan got Goudan out from the window. The water rose too fast, and it was even taller than Goudan in a blink of an eye.
In fact, at this time, Cao Lan was still able to run up the mountain alone, but Goudan couldn’t. So Cao Lan pushed Goudan to the roof, and then followed. The mother and son sat on the roof and prayed for the rain to stop soon.
Goudan looked at a figure not far away, "Mom, am I dazzled? I seem to see a fairy."
"Stupid son, there are no fairies in this world." Cao Lan said with a smile. She glanced at the water below, it was almost under the house’s eaves. It seemed that today, the two of them really couldn't survive.
Goudan stood up suddenly and pointed to the front, "Mom, look, it's really a fairy!"
Cao Lan looked, and in the dimness, she saw a white figure flew over.
Although Gong Qingyao only broke through the third level of Qi training and couldn’t fly yet, she could stay in the air for a few seconds with the help of a support. Therefore, Cao Lan and Goudan saw Gong Qingyao flying. The truth was that Gong Qingyao just hopped on the water like a dragonfly.
"Sister, it's you!" Goudan was very happy. After listening to Gong Qingyao's lecture on metaphysics this afternoon, he came back and specially explained it to Cao Lan.
Cao Lan knew that there was a metaphysical star who entered the village this time, but she didn't expect Gong Qingyao to be so young. "Why did you come here?" Cao Lan was a little worried.
Gong Qingyao nodded, coming from the mountain just now, she almost used most of her profound energy. At this moment, Gong Qingyao took a break and glanced around, "First think of a way to get out."
Cao Lan smiled bitterly, "There is no way, our house is on a low ground." If it was in the middle of the village, she might still have a chance to carry Goudan on her back. But it wouldn’t work in this low and concave land. Or else, why would she choose to sit still on the roof?
Gong Qingyao once again mobilized the profound energy in her body. She rushed to the bamboo forest not far away, took out the cold iron, and cut down some bamboos in one stroke.
Goudan jumped up immediately, clapping his hands and said, "Sister, you are so amazing."
Cao Lan was also stunned by this scene. She has been doing farm work since she was a child and naturally knows how difficult it was to chop a bamboo. To take one down, at least she needed to hit it several times, and to take down several bamboos like this, it would take at least half an hour without resting.
Gong Qingyao hugged the bamboo to the roof and handed it to Cao Lan, then she jumped into the water.
Cao Lan hugged the bamboo tightly.
"Mom, what do you think Fairy Sister is doing?" Goudan asked.
Cao Lan looked underwater and said, "She is here to save us." For some reason, with this little girl, Cao Lan felt that she and her son could be saved.
Gong Qingyao climbed up on the roof again. She brought some bed sheets.
Gong Qingyao tore the sheets into several pieces. "Are you making a bamboo raft?" Cao Lan immediately understood Gong Qingyao's meaning, "Yes."
The two took the bamboo. They were neatly tied, one person handled one side, and the bamboo raft was quickly finished. Cao Lan hugged Goudan on the bamboo raft, and then Gong Qingyao followed up. As soon as the three of them sat firmly, the roof was completely submerged.
"Where shall we go next?" Goudan asked.
Gong Qingyao specially left a piece of bamboo when tying the bamboo raft. She choped the bamboo in half, and then split it in half to get four paddles. Gong Qingyao handed one each to Goudan and Cao Lan, while she picked up two and said, "Paddle there."
The water grew quickly, and after a while, the tallest chimney of the house was also flooded.
The feeling of escaping death made Cao Lan’s heart palpitated.
During the paddling, Gong Qingyao asked, "Did the village have such heavy rain before?"
"No." Cao Lan replied affirmatively, "Someone once said that our place is a treasure of geomantic omen." So they lived here for several generations. Although they hadn't found any treasures, they also hadn’t encountered any disasters. .
Even if there was no such flood before, but the water flooded into the top of the house, it was almost impossible. Except for Xiaomi and her grandmother that has water disaster in her, Gong Qingyao felt that the flood was somewhat wrong.
The three of them rowed the bamboo raft to the west of the village, and then walked up the mountain. It was not until dawn when the rain stopped and the water gradually dropped.
After Wang Dashan climbed to the top of the mountain, he barely found a place with a signal, and when he managed to call the emergency service, "There is a flood in Hongyan Village, please come..." Before he finished saying the words to save people, he was disconnected.
Wang Dashan looked for several more places, but there was no signal anymore. The screen of his phone also went black because of the rain water soaking in, and Wang Dashan had no choice but to go back to the cave.
All the people in the cave stayed up all night. They looked at the northwest direction, but there was no one there, and the rescue team also did not appear.
Lu Yongyi looked outside, "It's dawn and the rain has stopped. I'll go down to look for Qingyao." He said, ignoring everyone's opposition and walked down the mountain.
The adults who stayed in the village also got up one after another, "Yes, the water has gone down, so we will also go out and look for her."
Wu Tiezhu said to Wang Dashan, "You stay here to take care of the children and elderly. I will go and take a look."
Wang Dashan nodded, "Okay. Don't worry."
When Lu Yongyi walked down the mountain, the sun had risen and the sky was completely bright. The water in the village had subsided halfway, and the roofs of many houses were now exposed. Under the guidance of Wang Dashan, the villagers in the cave also went down to the mountain. No one thought about the loss of their possession at this time, but was wholeheartedly looking for Gong Qingyao, Cao Lan and Goudan.
"Miss Qingyao!"
"Goudan!"
"Cao Lan!"
People shouted one after another, but there was no response.
After a round of searching, everyone returned to the cave again. Wu Tiezhu burst into tears, "We are sorry for Miss Qingyao."
Wang Dashan also cried.
Lu Yongyi now regretted why he didn't follow her last night. If so, Gong Qingyao might be fine.
Everyone stood in silence and didn't know what to do. Some people said, "Otherwise, we will erect a monument for Miss Qingyao."
"Why would you build a monument?" A cold voice came.
Everyone looked back and was overjoyed in an instant.
"It's Miss Qingyao!" Someone immediately shouted happily.
Everyone in the village went up to surround Gong Qingyao, "Great, you're all right."
"Wow, Sister, I'm so happy to see you."
"It's great that Miss Qingyao is all right."
Gong Qingyao had a cold temper and was surrounded by so many people. Even if she was a little uncomfortable, she still felt a little warmth somewhere in her heart. "Yeah."
Wu Tiezhu wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and looked towards Goudan and Cao Lan behind Gong Qingyao.
Cao Lan immediately talked about Gong Qingyao's rescue of them last night.
"That's it." Wu Tiezhu couldn't help but knelt down. "Miss Qingyao, you saved our village."
Wu Tiezhu knelt, and the other villagers also knelt down.
The cameramen found that there was a signal now and immediately started recording. As soon as Mao Liqiang woke up, he found that all the villagers in Hongyan Village were kneeling.
Mao Liqiang: ???
What's the situation? Mao Liqiang was a little confused. Was he still dreaming? Besides Mao Liqiang, the viewers who watched the live broadcast were also confused.
Gong Qingyao said, "Get up quickly."
When Yu Chuxue saw Gong Qingyao, she was relieved. But she turned around and saw the villagers respect Gong Qingyao so much, and her teeth started to itch again in an instant. What age was this? Didn't everyone say that a man had gold under his knee?
Zhong Xinyi also didn't expect Gong Qingyao to be alive, so she was a little shocked.
You Xingyu on the side walked up, "Great, you're okay."
"Yeah." Gong Qingyao nodded.
Yu Chuxue was slanderous in her heart, shouldn't Gong Qingyao say sorry for making everyone worry?
The viewers are really confused about the situation.
[???]
[No, I just fell asleep. May I ask, what happened here?]
[I am more concerned about the rain yesterday? I think it feels like the sun is about to come out.]
[No, no, no, look at the ground. The water is above their knees. It doesn't seem to be a simple rain.]
[It rained. You replay the live broadcast.]
[There was a video of the rain at Gong Qingyao’s window last night.]
[I don’t care if it rains anymore. Who can tell me what happened at the scene?]
At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared on the screen.
Last night, the staff on duty in the town received a call reporting flood in Hongyan Village and immediately called them back. But no matter how they contacted them, they were not in the service area. The staff called Wu Tiezhu again, but his phone was also not in the service area. The staff knew this matter was probably extraordinary, so they immediately called the town secretary He Xingyong to report.
When He Xingyong heard this, he immediately asked people close to him to check the authenticity of the matter. As a result, someone soon reported that the rain in Hongyan Village was indeed heavy, but there was no rescue team in town. He Xingyong immediately called the provincial office to ask for help. He then summoned his people in town to rush towards Hongyan Village.
The staff of P Province reported this to the top immediately, and the Meteorological Bureau confirmed that there was indeed a heavy rain in Hongyan Village.
There were 2,000 people in Hongyan Village. Xue Chengping, the secretary of the Provincial Committee, did not dare to think about what would happen if a flood really happened, so he immediately decided to arrange for a rescue team to go to Hongyan Village.
"Secretary, even if we drive there, it will take more than half a day at the fastest."
Xue Chengping was very anxious, "Then use a helicopter!"
"Okay!"
The rescue team was quickly formed, and Xue Chengping joined them in the helicopter. They hurried to Hongyan Village together.
Due to the heavy rain, the helicopter could not fly into Hongyan Village at all. In the end, it had to stop on a flat ground one kilometer away from Hongyan Village. Everyone walked into the village, and they saw the villagers surrounding a girl.
Xue Chengping was a little unclear about the situation. Those who followed Secretary Xue saw that Secretary Xue had not moved, so they did not move either.
After that, He Xingyong also rushed over with the people from town. He Xingyong walked to the village entrance and saw Xue Chengping there. He was a little surprised at the moment. He didn't expect Xue Chengping to come here in person. "Hello, Secretary Xue."
Wu Tiezhu heard the voice. He looked back, it turned out that He Xingyong was here. He hurried over to say hello, "Hello Secretary He."
He Xingyong hurriedly introduced, "Secretary Xue, this is Wu Tiezhu, the secretary of Hongyan Village."
Wu Tiezhu heard He Xingyong call the other party Secretary Xue, and immediately guessed who he was, "Hello, Secretary Xue."
Secretary Xue looked at the chaos in the village. The village was obviously hit by heavy rain, but it could not be said that it was flooded.
Wu Tiezhu saw Secretary Xue’s doubts and quickly explained, "The water started to disappear at dawn, and we didn’t expect the water to recede so quickly."
"How big the water was yesterday for you to call it flood?" He Xingyong asked. Even the Secretary of City T was alarmed. As a result, this...
"The water has overflowed all the roofs." Wu Tiezhu said.
Xue Chengping and his group looked around. It didn’t look anywhere like water flowing over the roof. It was more appropriate to say that the water was probably one meter high.
Wang Dashan came out and said, "Really, this water rises quickly and disappears quickly. If you don't believe me, look at your pants."
He Xingyong discovered that when he came earlier, the water was above his knees. During this time he was speaking, two centimeters had been dropped. This wet watermark in his pants could explain everything.
"And there are watermarks on our house." A villager said.
Everyone looked around, was it? It seemed that it was really flooded.
"Are there casualties?" Xue Chengping asked. Since the flood could recede by itself, it was a good thing.
"No." Wu Tiezhu was very happy when he said this.
"No?" Xue Chengping was a little surprised, but he was still happy. After all, this was a good thing.
Xue Chengping felt that he had come, so he should do something. He first arranged for the province to send some materials to Hongyan Village. After all, the houses in the village were flooded, and many things were soaked overnight, which couldn’t be used anymore. After arranging these, Xue Chengping also ordered another staff, "Go and investigate, why did the water in Hongyan Village rise so fast yesterday?"
"Okay." The staff immediately left.
Wu Tiezhu looked at Gong Qingyao, and Gong Qingyao said, "Everyone, let's go."
Wu Tiezhu nodded immediately, "Everyone can go. Go back and clean up." The villagers went back to clean up their house when they heard this.
Wu Tiezhu was staying to accompany He Xingyong and Xue Chengping. "Why don't we go to the village committee first?"
Xue Chengping agreed, and soon there were only the six guests including Gong Qingyao and the cameramen left on the scene.
After Mao Liqiang heard about the flood in Hongyan Village, he rushed to the village and saw that only the guests and his crews were left on the ground. After a flood, Hongyan Village still had a lot of things to do. Seeing this, Mao Liqiang said to the camera, "Dear viewers, Hongyan Village was suddenly hit by heavy rain yesterday, and there are still many things to do in the village. So our live broadcast will be stopped over here." After speaking, all the cameramen turned off the live broadcast.
After the live broadcast was turned off, Mao Liqiang looked at You Xingyu and the others, "The bus is waiting outside. Let's go out first. When the tickets are available, we will arrange for you to go back. If you need anything just talk to the crew."
"We won't continue this live broadcast?" You Xingyu asked.
"Yes, stop filming and wait for the next live broadcast." Mao Liqiang felt that he probably needed to worship God. He directed this live broadcast, first he met human traffickers. Now there were no human traffickers, but he suffered flood.
After Gong Qingyao went out with everyone, she took her suitcase from the bus and said that she still had something to do, so she would not go back to the capital with them.
Ai Xiaoyun asked, "Do you want me to stay with you?"
"No." Gong Qingyao said.
When Lu Yongyi heard Gong Qingyao staying, he quickly said, "Then I will stay too."
Yu Chuxue ridiculed her heart. When did Gong Qingyao become sweet and virtuous? This recording was stopped but she was still struggling to stay and didn’t want to go.
Mao Liqiang left with most of the people.
Lu Yongyi carried his backpack and looked at Gong Qingyao, "Are you staying here to help the villagers clean up?"
Gong Qingyao shook her head, jumped up, and then she was gone.
Lu Yongyi: ... wait, wait.
The viewers who watched the live broadcast also exploded.
The live broadcast was interrupted before, but everything from dawn when the signal was available to the present was still filmed. The viewers probably guessed what happened last night according to what the villagers and the officials said. At this time, the topic of Weibo was also brushed up.
The first topic was #Water disaster in Hongyan Village#.
Everyone discussed that there was a heavy rain in Hongyan Village yesterday, and the video sent by the cameraman Gong Qingyao has been edited separately and put on the Internet.
[The rain is a bit heavy, but it shouldn't result to a flood. It's a bit exaggerated.]
[But the secretary of the provincial party committee of province P was there, so it shouldn't be fake.]
[Can this even be considered a flood? It was more like a puddle okay?]
...
Gong Qingyao’s cameraman sat in the car and happily swiped Weibo.
He scanned these comments and immediately post the video he recorded in the cave yesterday. There was no signal last night, so it was saved and not put live online.
Before seeing these comments, he didn't plan to post this video. But now Gong Qingyao's cameraman just wanted to explain that the flood was really serious. Before it was sent out, he hadn't thought about what kind of big waves this video would cause on the Internet.
The second topic on Weibo that was frequently visited was #Gong Qingyao predicted the rain#.
[Do you remember when Gong Qingyao said during the live broadcast yesterday that it would rain?]
[Remember, Yu Chuxue didn't believe it and asked around several times.]
[I also checked the weather forecast, and it showed no rain. I don’t know it will really rain at night.]
[So, even if the moon is round and big, it might still rain, right?]
...
The third topic was #Xiaomi water disaster#.
[At that time, after Gong Qingyao finished talking about metaphysics, do you still remember that she said Xiaomi will have water disaster?]
[Remember, but not personal water disaster. This is disaster for the entire Hongyan village.]
[I remember, I didn't expect this to be true.]
[Suddenly I feel that Gong Qingyao really seems to be a master?]
[I just want to say, whether it is a coincidence or not, this production team is very powerful, and Gong Qingyao's master character setting is really successful.]
...
In the village committee office, Xue Chengping hadn’t said many words when a staff member came to report, saying that the video of the flood disaster in Hongyan Village yesterday had been revealed, and he showed the video to Xue Chengping.
Seeing the amount of water, Xue Chengping handed the phone to Wu Tiezhu, "Is this true?"
Wu Tiezhu glanced at it, "It's true, there was more water than this last night."
Xue Chengping didn't expect the flood to be more serious than he thought, and immediately said, "Let our public relation department come forward and report on related matters immediately."
"Okay," the staff replied.
Before the staff went out, Xue Chengping added, "In addition, increase the material assistance to Hongyan Village also."
"Okay."
Wu Tiezhu got up immediately, "Thank you, Secretary Xue."
Xue Chengping waved his hand and got up to call the leaders at the national level to report. The national level learned that the disaster did not cause any casualties, but that there was a lot of damage to property, so they immediately allocated a sum of money.
Xue Chengping was very happy.
After a while, P Province official account issued a related report.
[Safe P Province: On the evening of September 3, an extremely heavy rain broke out in Hongyan Village located in our province, causing a huge flood. The provincial party committee secretary Xue Chengping immediately led the T City rescue team and rushed to the scene to assist the villagers. As of now, there have been no casualties, and we are counting the total property damage.]
After Gong Qingyao and Lu Yongyi finished speaking, she climbed directly to the top of the mountain.
There was a river in the village that flowed down from the mountain. Gong Qingyao walked to the top of the mountain. It was visible to the naked eye that the river became wider due to rain last night, but it has also subsided. Gong Qingyao walked pass the river to the forest before Gong Qingyao suddenly stopped.
Lu Qianqian floated beside her asked, "Is there a problem here?"
Gong Qingyao nodded. She couldn't see what the problem was, but she just felt a bit weird here.
Lu Qianqian floated around and came back, "I cannot find anything strange here. This area has been flooded last night, if someone comes, they will definitely leave footprints. You see, although your steps are light, there are still prints left, but there is nothing in this area."
Gong Qingyao stayed for a long time without discovering the cause of the problem, so she stood up and said, "Let’s go."
Without finding the reason, Gong Qingyao felt a little depressed. Lu Qianqian on the side changed the subject, "What do you plan to do next?"
"Cultivate." Gong Qingyao wanted to stay in the cave for a few days, and then return to the Capital, "Make money."
"Hey, master, you actually said you want to make money?" To Lu Qianqian, Gong Qingyao's temperament was non-materialistic, so it was really strange to hear the word ‘make money’ from her mouth.
"I am human too." Gong Qingyao said.
Lu Qianqian: ...
It made sense, and there was no way to refute it for a while.
After Gong Qingyao was reborn, there were two things in her mind, one was to carry forward metaphysics, and the other was to win the movie queen title as requested by the original owner. Coming to Hongyan Village this time, after seeing the hardship of the villagers and the fact that Xiaomi ate corn paste but think of it as the world’s delicacy, Gong Qingyao has a third idea. She wanted to build this place and developed it, but she was short on funds.
After Lu Qianqian finished being shocked, she reacted again and said, "Is it because of Hongyan Village?" Since Gong Qingyao came here, she was different. The biggest difference was that she talked a lot, other than that, Lu Qianqian seemed to find Gong Qingyao warmed up a little bit.
"Yeah." Gong Qingyao said.
"Then I think you can set a charity fund. After the construction of Hongyan Village in the future, you can use that to fund places similar to Hongyan Village." Lu Qianqian said.
"Fund?" Gong Qingyao asked. Charity she understood, what was a fund?
Lu Qianqian explained, "It is an organization established in the name of an individual. The money in this fund can be used for charity, but the fund established in the name of an individual has no right to let others donate money."
"This is good." It didn't matter whether someone else donated money or not. Gong Qingyao could deposit all the money she earned from metaphysics into this account.
Lu Qianqian said, "You can find a few big business people and tell their fortune. The money they give must be high, so that there will be income source for the fund."
This was a good idea. Gong Qingyao nodded and decided to wait for her 4th Qi training break through before returning to the Capital.
Gong Qingyao went down the mountain and found that Lu Yongyi was still there.
Lu Yongyi saw Gong Qingyao and walked over happily, "You are back, are you going to help the villagers?"
"No." Gong Qingyao said. The villagers took out the wet things from their houses to dry them. As for material and budget, the province's relief has come. As far as the current situation was concerned, she had nothing to help.
Lu Yongyi was shocked. This was completely different from what he thought. He thought Gong Qingyao stayed here to help the villagers.
Gong Qingyao nodded to Lu Yongyi, turned and left, she then found a cave and began to practice peacefully. When Lu Yongyi reacted, there was already no one in front of him.
The cave that Gong Qingyao looked for this time was different from the one she lived in during the live broadcast. This cave was higher on the mountain. It was not as big as the previous cave, but it was very quiet. The main reason was that there were some small fruit trees outside, so if she was hungry she could pick fruit to satisfy her hunger. Gong Qingyao set up a simple formation outside, and then recruited Lu Qianqian to start practicing.
Five days later...
Gong Qingyao opened her eyes. In the past few days, she has hardly rested. Fortunately, she has gained a lot now. There was a lot of spiritual energy here, and there was also a lot of energy in the rocks. Plus the thousand-year cold iron also helped, so within five days she broke through the fourth level of Qi training. Yes, she could finally fly with Qi.
Gong Qingyao got up, and Lu Qianqian on the side felt that the ‘fairy’ smell on Gong Qingyao seemed to be a little bit stronger.
"I thought about it!" Lu Qianqian said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Aren't these caves very good?" Lu Qianqian said, "In the future, you can develop this place, and then provide people with cultivation. Isn't recuperation tour popular nowadays? You can do this."
This cave, if added with a few formations, even ordinary people would feel energetic after staying for one night.
"That is a good idea." Although Gong Qingyao had great attainments in metaphysics, she had never been in need of money in the past, so she never thought about how to make money.
Lu Qianqian was very excited, "You can start with the rich. They value their bodies very much. If they come, we should not be afraid of promoting the place."
It seemed that the matter of making money was now set, Gong Qing Yao got up and walked down the mountain, passing by Xiaomi's house.
Xiaomi was reading under a tree outside the house. She was very happy to see Gong Qingyao. She didn't expect Gong Qingyao to be still in the village. "Sister, you are still in the village."
Gong Qingyao walked to Xiaomi's side and squatted down and said. "Well, but I'll leave right away."
"So fast." Xiaomi pouted, "I still want to play with sister."
Gong Qingyao rubbed Xiaomi's head, "I'll be back again."
"Really? "Xiaomi said.
"Yeah." Gong Qingyao drew two talisman for Xiaomi, "Keep these on your body."
"Okay Sister." Xiaomi picked up one of the square talisman and put it in the pocket of her jacket, then lifted the other one. "I will definitely keep it on me. Can I give this one to my grandma?"
"Sure." Gong Qingyao said.
Grandma Qian heard Xiaomi’s voice and walked out the door. The two were about to send Gong Qingyao until the entrance of the village but Gong Qingyao refused, "No need to send me, go back and learn."
Xiaomi nodded and picked up the book in her hand. "Sister, don’t worry, I will definitely learn metaphysics."In the past few days, Xiaomi begged her grandma to buy metaphysics book for herself. It happened that there were more people in town recently, so Grandma Qian went to find someone to help buy the book. After buying the book, Xiaomi couldn't put it down, she brought it everywhere, and took it out when she was free, although she still didn't recognize many words in the book."
Gong Qingyao waved her hand and turned to leave. When she arrived to the village entrance, she met Lu Yongyi. Gong Qingyao was a little surprised. "You also didn't leave?"
Lu Yongyi was also stunned when he saw Gong Qingyao. He didn't expect to see her after a few days. Gong Qingyao's cold temperament seemed to be stronger. In the past few days, Lu Yongyi didn’t know where Gong Qingyao had gone, so he worked for a few days in the village.
Seeing Gong Qingyao carrying a suitcase, Lu Yongyi asked, "Are you going to leave?"
"Yeah."
"Wait for me." Lu Yongyi immediately ran back to the villager's house, packed his luggage, and walked to Gong Qingyao, "Let's go back together."
There was only one bus to the town every day in the village. But the two people didn’t know the bus schedule so it had already left. The two decided to walk to town.
Lu Yongyi said, "I’ll help you with your luggage."
Gong Qingyao refused, "No, you just have to keep up."
"Okay." Lu Yongyi thought Gong Qingyao was being polite, he asked again, "Do you have plan in the Capital?"
Once she was back in the Capital Gong Qingyao wanted to start making money, but Gong Qingyao didn't say this.
Lu Yongyi thought Gong Qingyao wanted to make a movie, so he said, "If you have time, you can go to the film and television city." After all, Gong Qingyao was so beautiful, maybe she would be fancied by a director for a supporting role in a certain drama.
Although Gong Qingyao had an agent, Lu Yongyi could also see the agent main focus was around Yu Chuxue, although, even in this situation, Gong Qingyao was still slightly better than him. Lu Yongyi also had an agent, but his agent was handling dozens of artists, and would definitely not run for an artist like him who was not well-known. Even this reality show was thrown at him only after others rejected it.
Soon, Lu Yongyi realized that he had been too enthusiastic, so he closed his mouth and followed Gong Qingyao. He also suddenly understood what Gong Qingyao meant to keep up. It seemed that Gong Qingyao was walking, but Lu Yongyi had to trot to keep up.
An hour later, Lu Yongyi's forehead had already begun to sweat, Gong Qingyao glanced back and slowed down. If she used Qi to fly she would be in town already.
Lu Yongyi was very ashamed when he discovered that Gong Qingyao was deliberately slowing down. He decided to increase his exercise after returning to the Capital!
It was late in the afternoon when they arrived in town. Lu Yongyi took out his mobile phone and turned on the navigation system. "There is a hotel in front. I think the review is pretty good. It's better to rest there at night and take the plane back to the Capital via T City tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Gong Qingyao thought to herself that the transportation to Hongyan Village was not convenient. If she wanted to develop caves for people to take care of their bodies, the first thing to improve was the transportation. Otherwise, people came to take care of their body, but before they even reached the destination, they would be tired and half dead.
The two took a rest, and Lu Yongyi came over and knocked on Gong Qingyao's door, "Qingyao, do you want to go out to eat? There is a local specialty restaurant around here. I checked the word-of-mouth so it should be not bad."
Lu Qianqian said from the side. "Master, let me tell you, I think this person has an impure mind."
Gong Qingyao opened the door and glanced at Lu Yongyi, then shook her head, watching Lu Yongyi's face, his eyes were dark and clear, it showed he was a pure-hearted person. There was no crooked mind.
Seeing Gong Qingyao shook her head, Lu Yongyi asked, "You don’t want to eat local specialties? Then we can find something else." He took out his mobile phone and prepared to search other restaurants.
"Let's go." Gong Qingyao said.
Lu Qianqian floated behind her, "Hey, wait for me."
Lu Yongyi followed the navigation on his mobile phone and walked to the restaurant. He asked the service staff in the store to help recommend the local specialties.
During the waiting time, Lu Yongyi said, "In the past few days, many reporters went to Hongyan Village to interview. Secretary Wu and the villagers have been complimenting you, saying that thanks to your help, there were no casualties in the village."
When the villagers praised Gong Qingyao, Lu Yongyi wanted to laugh. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was true. "There is also a Goudan family. They repeatedly said that you are their benefactor."
Gong Qingyao nodded slightly, indicating that she was listening.
Lu Yongyi found that Gong Qingyao didn't seem to be interested in this, so he changed the topic, "There have been several hot searches about you on Weibo these days, have you read it?"
Gong Qingyao shook her head, but then took out her phone. It was not because she wanted to read it, but Lu Qianqian kept saying, "Master, master, master, let me take a look at Weibo~~"
After searching for her name, Gong Qingyao immediately found a few topics by default, such as, #Gong Qingyao Master of Metaphysics#, #Gong Qingyao forecasted the flood#, and #Hongyan Village residents thank Gong Qingyao#.
However, these topics did not stay on the hot search for long. Although some people's attention was not low, it was obvious that they were deliberately withdrawn from the hot search. Lu Qianqian on the side said, "It's not surprising that the hot searches are withdrawn. The government does not allow citizens to engage in feudal superstitions."
Lu Qianqian continued, "I know you are not feudal superstitions. To tell the truth, before I became one, I didn't even believe in ghost my entire life."
The main reason was that there were too many scammers now, which lead people to distrust metaphysics, and even talked about metaphysics as magic tricks and lies. At this moment, Gong Qingyao discovered for the first time that entering the entertainment industry had such usefulness. After she became famous, she could tell everyone that metaphysics was not a lie, it was also a science.
In addition to these topics, one topic was still on the list, but not in the top ten, #Gong Qingyao lost fans#.
Gong Qingyao clicked in and took a look. Because of Gong Qingyao's performance in the live broadcast, many people became fans and then left and then became fans again. Some people did this repeatedly and finally caused dissatisfaction for Gong Qingyao diehard fans.
Someone said, [#Gong Qingyao lost fans#, people who come and leave multiple times, do you think Qingyao cares about you?]
[If you really like Qingyao, how could it be possible for you to go back and forth?]
There was a battle inside the fans, and Lu Qianqian said from the side, "This is not good."
Gong Qingyao was still scrolling down, and she saw a Weibo with the name [Gong Qingyao Fans.]
"It must be your support group," Lu Qianqian said from the side, "This is good, so that fans can gather together."
Gong Qingyao withdrew from this topic and continued to scroll down on the topic about herself.
She found a topic called #Gong Qingyao’s smile#. There was also a lot of interest in this topic because everyone felt that Gong Qingyao was smiling for the first time on the show. It looked good, so the video was cut and made into dynamic emoticons and posted on Weibo. Fans reposted them one after another.
If there were fans there would be anti fans, Weibo produced both, there were also a lot of anti fans comments.
[Every day you Yaoyao here and there, you look at your feed, what a rotten life.]
[Since the master character was set now, there will be no turning back.]
[Yes, your Yaoyao only pretending to be a master, what do you say about her extravagant life on Weibo?]
[That is, the master character was a setting, she should have to deleted the previous photos.]
[This is obviously a scammer.]
...
Lu Qianqian said to the side, "Yes, Master, why didn't you delete the previous photos?"
The meal was served, Gong Qingyao put down her phone. Lu Yongyi had prepared a lot of topics, but when he saw that Gong Qingyao was eating quietly, he swallowed what he prepared and sat quietly to eat.
After eating, Gong Qingyao was about to pay the bill, but Lu Yongyi hurriedly said, "You pay for the room, so I should pay for this meal."
Gong Qingyao took back her card. After paying the bill, Lu Yongyi suggested, "Should we go around the town?"
"No." Gong Qingyao wanted to go back. She hadn't taken a bath in these few days of practice, and she had long been very uncomfortable.
